Personal Play: October 6th

Pretty mediocre week last week, especially for my standards. Let’s go on a run‼️🔒🔥

PERSONAL PLAY:

MLB: 

Dodgers @ Phillies 6:08pm EST

The Dodgers are in prime position to take Game 2 behind Blake Snell, whose elite 2.35 ERA and strikeout-heavy profile give them a clear edge over Jesús Luzardo’s inconsistency. Los Angeles has been one of MLB’s most balanced offenses all season with a 114 wRC+, and their right-handed core of Betts, Ohtani, and Smith matches up perfectly against Luzardo’s left-handed arsenal. Over the past three weeks, the Dodgers’ lineup has been hot, consistently producing early leads that neutralize opponents’ bullpens. While Los Angeles’ own bullpen struggled in September, manager Dave Roberts has the flexibility to use starters like Glasnow or Kershaw in relief, tightening late-game margins. Citizens Bank Park’s power-friendly environment actually benefits L.A.’s deep lineup just as much as Philadelphia’s. In 10,000 simulated outcomes, the Dodgers’ superior pitching, lineup depth, and situational composure gave them a 62% chance to win—making them the rightful favorite to go up 2–0 in the series.
